What’s the state of using VR\/AR goggles as a replacement for your desktop? Here are two takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First is Alan Truly who used the Meta Quest 3<\/a>. He notes there have been some big improvements in web browsing and web apps that he uses daily. There’s still a number of tasks that it isn’t suited well for – such as picture editing. He also tried various software solutions such as Horizon Workrooms, Immersed, remote desktop, and a variety of other apps. He also tried a mixed version in which he used his keyboard and mouse for input. His conclusion is that besides concerns of comfort wearing a 1lb device all day, he says VR is ready for desktop work – but might not be best suited for the type of work you’re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hallden<\/a> tried using his 3d goggles as virtual monitors for a week in a variety of situations. He uses the Meta Quest Pro because he noted that Apple has to solved issues with using them in unstable\/moving environments (Update: They have not<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n How well do they work in general? Watch the video and find out<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spoilers:<\/strong> He finds that the weight and video quality weren’t really an issue – but the lag and connectivity were. He seems to mimic what others are saying: AR is more likely the future instead of VR<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
